are rich coal mines in the immediate neigh

4 FEW POINTERS FOR DEMO
CRATIC wORKISGMEN.

CRATIC wORKINGMEN.
The elections held this week have in
them lesson that is worth more than a
passing notice. For example, we will
take the cities Of Chicago and Cincinnati.
In Chicago there were but two tickets in
the Held, the Republican and the sO-Called
United Labor The Democrats through
the responsibility Of some OF those who
had assumed the leadership OF their organ
izatiOn had become so diSorganized that
they conld not secure \ suitable ticket til!
II WAS too late to begin campaign. The
Reorganization was furthered by many
Democrats being deluded into joining the
United Labor party. They joined this or
ganizatiOn under the mistaken idea that it
represented the best interests of the
workingmen. But if they had stopped to
think, the character of the candidates
wonId have proven to them how false was
their view The radical Socialists and
the Anarchist sympathizers had placed
themselves in control of this new
party in Chicago and only such men
were placed ON the ticket Their election
would have been misfortune to Chicago
and the whole country. Yet many DEM
Oerats who didn't stop to think voted for
them. But such a ticket was doomed to
inglOriOus defeat in Chicago and would be
doomed to defeat in any city of the repub-
lie.
The result was that the Republicans got
all the offices. The Republican candidates
were fairly good men, and it is very much
better that they we're elected than that
the Socialists should have been elected.
But if the Democrats had stood by their
cOlOrs and none had run OF after strange
gods, they could have carried Chicago by
storm and the Republicans, and the So
eialist, Communist and Anarchist fanatics
would have been almost ashamed tO-show
themselves the day after election.

GOVERNOR HILL, of New York, is now
considering the high license bill and the
question of veto. The bill has many
gradations and provisions For towns and
villages the fee is fixed at not less than
$50 nor more than $50; for cities Of
4O0, 90 OF more, not less than 81 900 for a
general license. and not less than 500 for
wine and beer, stOrekeepers' and druggists
licenses. The strong ground Of opposition
is that the bill applies such wide range
in the way of license fees to New York and
the other cities of the State. IL is not
much Of high license except in New
York and Brooklyn. Cities of from 10000
to 2OO, 900 get of comparatively easy.
Whatever way the Governor decides he
will call down upon hiulSelf 4 torrent OF
criticism. lie is certainly between the
devil and the deep sea.
This law is much milder thanat that
passed at the last session of our own Legs
lature. Were Wheeling in New York State
the license tax would range from $50 to
$50 for selling all kinds orliquors, whereas
it is $3.50 by the law passed by our Leg
islature, and to sell ale, beer, domestic
wines and drinks of like nature 500.

THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE EN-
IRA SESSION.

The Republican press is trying to clear
the Republican party OF being in any way
10 blame for the extra session ct the Leg
islatnre. We do not wish to say that the
Democratic party is not to blame, for 1t is,
and should bear It's portion of the reSpous-
Utility. The Democrats had majority,
and if there had been no faction, there
wonld have been no deadlock, the appro-
priatiOn bills would have been passed and
there would have been no necessity for an
extra session.
But il the Democratic party, through
factjonal spirit, is unable to do its duty,
does this leave the Republicans no duty to
do: Are the Republican members Of the
Legislature to he considered nonentity,
having 10 part or lot in deciding important
questions? This is what the IateNigcarcr
aud other radical papers would have the
people believe.
But how was il? 1t was in the power
of the Republicans TO bring the deadlock
to close at any time. But they didn't.
Il was in their power not to furnish the
kickers any encouragement But they did.
The Republicans encouraged the iactlonaI
spirit by every means in their power and
did all they could 10 prolOng the deadlock.
Had it not been Tor the promises and en-
enlargement Of the Republicans, many Of
the kickeIs would without doubt have
worked in the lines before the session
closed, "a senator would have been elected
and the approportion bills passed. And if
the Republicans had not voted against 1t,
much expense might have been saved the
State by merely extending the session n
few days till the appropriation bills were
passed.
After all these things the radical press
says the Republicans are not in any way
responsible! The Democrats are willing
10 hear their share of the blame, but they
Insist that the Republicans shall bear
theirs. Ii looks bad TO see Republicans
standing mp, like PhariSCeS in the Hebrew
temple, and saying they are glad they are
hOlifr than anybody else. They had bet.
ter less up and try TO do better when the
extra session meets.
Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1887-04-07

Gratis and Labor men had tickets in the
field. The Labor party had good men In
the field and the rabid Socialist element
that weighed the Chicago ticket down was
not disturbing element in the Cincinnati
ticket. Yet the result was the same. The,
Labor ticket got left and the Republicans
got the offices. Aud the Democrats got
left too.
The Labor ticket drew the largest part
of its strength from the Democratic party,
because there are 50 many more working
men in it than in the Republican party.
The Democratic party has always been the
party of the common people, the party Of
the workingmen, and this result is what
we must expect.
In nearly every instance in which the
Labor party has put out a ticket, it has re-
shifted in defeating the Democrats and
electing the Republicans. The election IN
New York city last fall is an exception.
But even here we are inclined to think the
Labor party made greater inroads in the
Democratic party than in the Republican
Mr.. HEwITT's great reputation as a states
man and business man and his popularity
are said to have attracted to him many
Republicans.
Here is something for Democratic work
ingmen to think of: The great political
campaign of 1888 will soon dawn upon us.
All the important national and State offices
will be at stake. The result of the cleo
lions in the past year makes it almost as
certain rs the fact that night follows
day, that if Democratic workingmen
are led into getting up independ-
ent tickets they will defeat the
Democratic party and elect Republicans,
by turning their backs upon the party they
have adhered to for life time, they will
gain nothing, except the bitter knowledge
that they have helped to place IN power
the party against which they always cher
ished implacable hate-the party Of the
mOnopOlists, decentralization, Of sumPtu-
AIRY laws and various other things distaste-
lul to wOrkingmen.
How do Democratic workingmen like
the prospect?
The Democratic party gives the work
ingman all the rights that justice would
give him in any party. While it does this,
il of course is opposed to anarchiSm and
any other kind of ism that does violence to
the person or property OF the rich man that
dwells in splendid mansion or the poor
man whose home is in the humble cottage.
This should be the opinion of every true
nottingham. \ labor party would be a
class party and could not long live
in Republic like ours. The Democratic
party has principles so broad that men OF
all calIings in life can find protection under
its hammer. Such purity must exist rs
long ~ our Republic exists. Should
wUrkingmen defeat ii next election by
Joining the Labor party and giving the
victory to the Republicans, it will rally
from its defeat in a few years.
But are Democratic wOrkingmen willing
to assist in giving the victory TO the Re
publicans, even for a few years? Why not
stick to their own party and enjoy the
victory themselves?
